Palm OS Installations
• Install File to Palm “Add-on” Folder During Installation
The Add-on directory is a temporary holding area for Palm applications. When an
end user opens the Palm Desktop software and uses the Install Tool to add a new
application to the Palm device, the contents of this directory are displayed first.
This lets end users manually install software to the Palm device and gives all
Palm users of the desktop computer access to the application.
• Install File to Palm User Folder During Installation
The application is copied to the Palm User Folder for the users who are specified
on the Palm User Information dialog, which appears during installation of the
.MSI. Palm applications located in the Palm User Folder are installed to the
device whenever a HotSync is performed on the Palm device. Use this option to
install the application when the end user performs a HotSync and to let only
specific Palm users have access to the application.
Note
Files you install to the Add-on folder or Palm User folder are not uninstalled when the
.MSI is uninstalled. Only those files in the Desktop Directory are uninstalled. End
users can use the Palm software to perform uninstalls from their device.
